The CHP had some 2 door '57 Mecury post cars that are obviously standard transmission cars from watching the programs. I wonder if they had the big 430 Lincoln in them?
In '57, the largest engine in Merc's and Linc's was the 368 Y block. The 430 didn't come out, until '58. It was called a MEL (Merc, Edsel, Linc). I had the 410 version, in my '58 Edsel Corsair.
